For those in the market for a reliable and feature-packed robot vacuum, now is the perfect time to act. Verge readers can currently take advantage of significant discounts on the Roomba Combo i5 and j5 models, with prices starting at just $189 and $239, respectively. These deals offer savings of up to 55% off the usual prices, making them an attractive option for those looking to upgrade their cleaning game.

The Roomba Combo i5, typically priced at $349, is a budget-friendly option that still packs a punch. It features wide, dual rubber brushes that excel at picking up dirt and debris from both hardwood and carpets. Additionally, it boasts vSLAM mapping technology, room-specific cleaning, and support for virtual assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant. While it may lack the optional auto-empty dock, the Combo i5 is relatively easy to repair, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

The Roomba Combo j5, usually priced at $529, takes things to the next level with AI-powered obstacle avoidance, typically reserved for higher-end models like the Roomba Combo j9 Plus. This feature, combined with keep-out zones and no-mop zones, makes the j5 a more advanced option for those seeking a more comprehensive cleaning experience. Both models offer basic mopping capabilities, which can be activated by swapping out the rear dustbin for a water tank and reusable pad.

These discounts are available exclusively for Verge readers, with promo codes VERGE160 and 210VERGE required to unlock the deals. The offers are valid until February 15th, so be sure to act quickly to take advantage of these significant savings.
